CAR CLEAN-UP: Ask Your Representative to Sign the Clean Car Letter

Tomorrow, the Sierra Club and the Union of Concerned Scientists are
releasing a report, "Drilling in Detroit," detailing how cars and light
trucks can have improved fuel economy to 40 miles per gallon. Now is the
perfect time to ask your representative to sign the Clean Car Letter, which
calls on President Bush to raise Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE)
standards. Higher fuel economy standards can save three million barrels of
oil per day -- more oil than is economically recoverable from the Arctic
National Wildlife Refuge, the Persian Gulf and offshore California
combined. Raising CAFE standards will also increase consumer savings at the
gas pump and keep nearly 600 million tons of global warming carbon dioxide
pollution out of the atmosphere.
